Of course, my faith has a lot to do with being able to be public without being a public nuisance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Personal faith can be a powerful force for public good.
I certainly do not support excluding faith from public life.
I've long been really intrigued with what is the... proper role of faith and religion in public life.
Faith is a private issue. At least, I consider it to be one.
My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life, but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs, but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other.
Our common realm is not and cannot be stripped of values - I absolutely reject the idea that religion should somehow be tolerated but not encouraged in public life.
I think when you're dealing with faith, you want to be as responsible and sensitive to the material as you can.
I am a believer, but I affirm that in public buildings the law of the Republic overrides religious rules.
I'm not a member of any faith community, and I think faith is a deeply personal issue that individuals should deal with in their private lives.
It seems so antithetical to the teachings of Christ to proclaim your faith in public. I mean, of course you're not supposed to hide your light under a bushel.
